Earth Day Thursday- Upcycle Ideas

Upcycling is becoming my thing. The wooden pallets really got me started and now I can hardly control myself. 

Like this morning, my neighbors had a ratty old mattress out with their trash and I thought for hours (well  minutes anyway) about how I wish it didn't have to sit in a landfill and there must be something cool it could be used for. Pull out the springs, rip of the cord edging, oh I don't know. I couldn't think of anything so I let it go. 

Anyway, I did start thinking about upcycling and I decided to snoop around and look for some fresh inspiration.

First off, 
a cheese grater earing holder-BRILLIANT!

 I'm not quite sure how you would legally get your hands on one of these signs, but this is possibly the coolest chair I have ever seen.

 I am looking at everything with new eyes! I definitely have some junk laying around here and I need to get a bit creative with it!
